The Long Walk

How long have I gone down this path?  
How long has it been?  
I've lost all sense of time, faced countless obstacles, and overcoming them has left me numb and exhausted,  
 but not defeated...  
 
Some would ask "why go on"?  
Or say "just give up"!!!  
 
To them I answer simply "no I will never stop". The road may be long, the path may be arduous, but something keeps me from collapsing.  
 
Awaiting in the end of this accursed is a promised embrace, of my only two reasons for being.  
Their light shines my path, the promise of their warmth moves my shattered bones foward.  
 
And until I reach them and feel their gentle hands on my weary bones , I'll never stop, and continue on,  
 
the long walk....
